User not found

Gatling

Has anyone else come across this recently when you go into a profile it says

User not found, came across it several times over the last year but never got around to posting about it

Got any example accounts? Or is random and intermittent?

This one popped up last night I've seen it twice before but recently, can't remember off the top of my head though,

64869923 that's the user name ,I can't even share the link in the box below

Are you sure?

Yes it i click on comments I'm getting the user not found message again

So part of the problem here is their username isn't 64869923, it's "64869923 ", there's a space at the end. You can see it in the URL encoded as %20. I can see their comments just fine off their profile page.

Can you post the exact link that gives you the user not found error? I'm wondering if this is a mobile vs desktop thing, or if the %20 is getting dropped off erroneously.

That's the URL without the trailing space, as described above. The trailing space is the issue here.

If I add the URL below I'm getting this error.

You're probably seeing an error about not being allowed by robots.txt or somesuch. Paste the link and then press space after it, not return, it should paste as text and not attempt to be previewed.

Still getting the same message with the space included ,

Create the gap needed to post the URL, then paste it in and click/tap somewhere else - don't tab or space away from it, as it will generally give that error any link

That's Vanilla being Utterly Useless.
